Phosphate Fertilizer Prospects From Western Mining
The project aims to prove deposits economic and attract capital to revive a western mining industry. Sulfuric acid from the Trail smelter could be diverted as fertilizer, saving costs. Canada imports phosphates from the U S, with world demand rising. Agriculture, especially in the middle west, hinges on returning chemical elements, and a phosphate trade may grow if supplies meet wheat production needs.
